Back in 1983, Charles Bronson starred in an awesome serial killer thriller called 10 to Midnight. Now Bronson look-alike Robert Bronzi has the lead in a thriller called 12 to Midnight – but the serial killer he needs to take down happens to be a werewolf! 12 to Midnight is set to receive a limited theatrical release on August 1st, and will also be available to watch on DirecTV and other streaming platforms. With the release date just one week away, a trailer for the film has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Mark Savage (Purgatory Road) directed the film from a screenplay he crafted with Joe Knetter, producer Jeff Miller (who came up with the story), and cast member Tom Parnell. It concerns a detective, despondent after the murder of his wife and forced to resign, who is brought back to the force when a new string...

Stephen Cognetti has written and directed every entry in the Hell House LLC franchise, which began in 2015 and currently consists of Hell House LLC, Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel, Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, and the recently released Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor. While doing the press rounds for The Carmichael Manor, Cognetti talked to Bloody Disgusting about his hopes for future installments, saying he has ideas that would require higher budgets and that he would like to move away from the found footage style all of the films have been shot in so far.

Cognetti said, “I make references to this event in a few of the movies, including this one, but also the third one as well is what happened at the Rockland County Fair, back in the day. That’s something I always talk about, this event, and never really making it.

Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is the best movie in the franchise yet, breaking from tradition and pointing to a bright future for the series. The new setting of the Carmichael Manor provides a fresh atmosphere and new lore, building real edge-of-your-seat tension and delivering the series' scariest entry yet. The fourth film connects to the first three movies through references to the Abaddon Hotel and delves into the origins of the haunting clown costumes, leaving room for future franchise movies to explore new settings while still digging into established lore.

This 8-year-old horror franchise quietly released its best movie yet. While newcomers to the Hell House LLC franchise probably missed the launch of the latest franchise film altogether, they shouldn't sleep on this surprisingly solid installment. The first film in director Stephen Cognetti's found-footage horror series hit streaming platforms in 2016 after making some waves at the Telluride Horror Show.

The fourth film in the Hell House LLC franchise, Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor tells a layered, compelling, and frightening story equipped with clever plotting and well-timed scares. Set before the events of the original 2015 film, The Carmichael Manor adds more mythology to the franchise while holding on to the lean DIY roots of the first film. The clowns are as scary as ever, and an interesting side plot set in 1989 adds depth to this haunted house story.

Once again written and directed by Stephen Cognetti, Hell House LLC Origins begins with a faux-documentary featuring talking heads discussing the fates of Margot (Bridget Rose Perrotta), an online sleuth, and her girlfriend Rebecca (Destiny Leilani Brown). The film then dives head-first into the last footage of the women alive, in which Margot drags Rebecca to the infamous Carmichael Manor, where a family was once brutally murdered. As Margot,...

It is exciting to be alive in the 21st century in part because it's when the "Hell House LLC" movies started coming out. I didn't say how big a part.

Starting with 2015's "Hell House LLC" and extending now through four films, writer-director Stephen Cognetti has achieved a rare thing worth celebrating: the creation of an original film franchise that gained word-of-mouth recognition without studio support. A close peer in this space would be "Terrifier," the series of ultra-bloody killer clown films writer-director Damien Leone has been piloting into the world since the 2008 short "The 9th Circle." "Hell House" hasn't been going for quite as long and consists of haunted house films, not slashers. But it's another difference between the franchises that's most salient to raise for this discussion of "Hell House's" latest: the "Terrifier" movies have only been getting better, while the "Hell House" films have gotten worse.

Stars: Robert Savakinus, Stephen Cognetti, Bridget Rose Perrotta, Destiny Leilani Brown, James Liddell | Written and Directed by Stephen Cognetti

When I reviewed Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, I said it seemed they had taken the franchise as far as it could go. Writer/director Stephen Cognetti seems to have had the same thought because, as you can probably tell from the title, Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor provides some backstory to the events at the hotel rather than being another extension of the saga.

In 1989 The Carmichael Manor was the scene of a baffling and brutal crime. Two members of the family were killed in their beds. The other two, father Arthur Carmichael (Robert Savakinus) and his son Patrick (Stephen Cognetti; The Hid) were missing. But there was only one set of footprints in the snow outside the house, presumably those of Arthur, who was thought to be the killer.

Writer/Director Stephen Cognetti may have finally closed the door on the hellish Abaddon Hotel in the previous installment of the cult horror franchise Hell House LLC, but the saga isn’t over. The fourth entry, Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor, introduces a new setting entirely to set the stage for the next chapter. Cognetti cleverly expands the mythology while returning to the atmospheric foreboding and scares that made the original film such a cult favorite in the first place. While The Carmichael Manor feels like a refreshing return to form, it’s also clear that this franchise is ready to leave the shackles of the found footage format in the past.

It’s 2021. Cold case internet detective Margot (Bridget Rose Perrotta), along with girlfriend Rebecca (Destiny Leilani Brown) and troubled brother Chase (James Liddell), travel to Rockland County, New York, to spend five nights at the reportedly haunted Carmichael Manor.

Three intrepid film-makers set out to investigate spooky goings-on at a remote property. If you suspect this plot was worn out, you’d be wrong

It’s to Hell House franchise creator Stephen Cognetti’s credit that this fourth film in the series manages to lovingly revivify two horror tropes usually to be found mouldering at the back of the genre closet: the found-footage expedition and demonic clowns. That is partly on account of the mythology he has accrued over the last three instalments, centring on occult goings-on at the Abaddon Hotel on New York’s rural outskirts; it is embroidered and deepened by this quasi-prequel, helping fit out those cliches with an unsettlingly long shadow.

Everything in the film is framed by a group of documentary-style talking heads, discussing the tragic attempt of their friend Margot (Bridget Rose Perrotta) to make a true-crime exposé of the Carmichael Manor. This is the site of what,...

Stephen Cognetti, the creator behind the spooktacular Hell House LLC series, cranks up the dread yet again in his latest installment, Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor. While The Abaddon Hotel from earlier films in the series has become a hallmark of terror for the franchise, this new installment explores a different haunted setting, the Carmichael Manor. Does this new haunt measure up to the terrifying charm of the Abaddon? Hold onto your night lights as we delve into this latest found footage fright!

Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is set in 2021, with internet sleuth Margot Bentley (Bridget Rose Perrotta) leading a reluctant crew into the heart of the Carmichael Manor’s mysteries after getting a hot ghost-hunter exclusive; five uninterrupted nights at the estate, the site of the unsolved 1989 Carmichael family murders. Armed with a few handheld cameras, Margot, her real estate girlfriend Rebecca (Destiny Leilani Brown...

Last year, Terror Films announced that writer/director Stephen Cognetti would be continuing his found footage Hell House LLC franchise with Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor – and earlier this month, we learned that Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is scheduled to begin streaming on both Shudder and AMC+ on Monday, October 30th. Before we reach that date, the film will also be screening at the 14th annual Telluride Horror Show, which will be running from October 13th to 15th. With those dates right around the corner, the trailer for Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

Last year, Terror Films announced that writer/director Stephen Cognetti would be continuing his found footage Hell House LLC franchise with the prequel Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor – with the plan being that the finished film would be released through the Shudder streaming service sometime in the fall of this year. Now we know exactly when Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is going to start streaming on both Shudder and AMC+: Monday, October 30th. It’s going to be a Devil’s Night Premiere!

Terror Films refers to Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor as “the first chapter of what will become known as the Hell House LLC Origin Films”, so it sounds like we’ll have multiple Hell House LLC prequels to look forward to. This one will show what happens when a group of cold case investigators stay at the Carmichael Manor,...
